Sandy Goodspeed I have transcribed and compiled the records of Bookhout Funeral Home in Oneonta ranging from 1917-2005.
The records start in 1917 as Kark Funeral Home in Bainbridge, Chenango Co.
The Kark Funeral Home ended business in Jan. 1919, and in May of 1919, the business opened in Oneonta under the direction of I Jay Bookhout on 13 Dietz St. They suffered two fires (most records were preserved); one in Dec. 1939 and at the beginning of 1942 at which time the business was moved to its present location at 277 Main St. In July 1947, it was sold to John Woodward but retains the Bookhout name up to the present time.
Copies of obituaries are attached to records starting in Jan. 1936 to present day. I only copied vital info from these. Until the last couple of years, records were handwritten and sometimes the writing was not always legible. Most all records listed cemetery burial.
Please include name(s) and dates as well as pertinent info you have such as parents, spouse or maiden name or anything that might help.
I have also transcribed the records and read the stones in Glenwood, Oneonta Plains and Riverside Cemeteries in Oneonta which would have information regarding any of these Bookhout burials.

All except 1892 show families but 1892 is a running list of names and no indication of where families start & stop.
**WARNING: I did the best I could to read names but sometimes the writing and visibility of the film was bad; especially the 1892 census writing was terrible to read, and the writing for certain letters was very hard to distinguish but at least maybe something will be of help to someone.
**Please specify census in subject line of email to Sandy.
